related to the learning process. Data analysis was conducted comprehensively to understand the
interaction process between teachers and students as well as the method’s influence on the
theoretical understanding and practice of the Arabic language. The research results indicate that
the muhadatsah method at Pondok Modern Darussalam Gontor Putra 2 is implemented
systematically through language activities, including: determining the muhadatsah theme,

improve students’ speaking skills through the talaqqi or ilqo’iyyah method, daily communication
practice, natural vocabulary enrichment, and the development of a positive mindset and self
confidence in Arabic. Furthermore, this program plays a crucial role in fostering a disciplined
language environment through a strict monitoring system, the imposition of consequences, and
the exemplary conduct of dormitory staff and teachers. Thus, the implementation of the
muhadatsah method plays a significant role in improving speaking skills and establishing a
